it's just a birth not still birth cake. as rune explained a baby fresh out of the womb isn't going to look like a gerber baby. if you want try and find some google images of babies fresh out of the vaj, you'll find a lot have a blue tint.

Tuesday, December 11, 2012 9:27:32 AMMy daughter was born via c-section (and is a perfectly healthy 8yo now so, no, this isn't a sad story). I sat behind the curtain talking to my wife throughout the process and the Dr says, "well, stand up, dad, and take a look at your baby girl." I stood up and looked over the curtain to see my purplish baby covered in blood and my wife's guts all over the place ... yeah, I don't recommend looking until things are cleaned up and sewed up. Point is, babies don't come out 3 months old, bathed and beige like they do in the movies. :)
